Next, you will need to install Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 for SQL 2005.
Depending on how and when you purchased SQL Server 2005, Service Pack 1 may have
been bundled with the SQL Server DVD??”this would likely be represented on the CD
label. If not, you will need to download Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 (the latest SP as
of the writing of this book). Service Pack 2 is available on the Microsoft Web site at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en -us/sqlserver/bb426877.aspx. Because SP2 is the most
recent update available, we will be using it for our confi guration. The SQL Server 2005
Service Pack is fairly straightforward, so you can simply follow the defaults for upgrading.
Please note that if the server you are using has other databases installed, upgrading to SP2
will stop any databases running on the server.
Now that your database server is humming along, you can begin to prepare Active
Directory for the OCS attributes.

Preparing Active Directory
More and more applications from Microsoft are requiring that the Active Directory
schema be modified to accept new attributes. Once upon a time, back in 2000, this
was a pretty scary notion. The Active Directory schema was a new concept, and the
general opinion of administrators was ???don??™t touch my schema.??? However, as Active
Directory and the applications requiring these types of changes have progressed, the
chances of corruption or other issues have almost completely disappeared.
